just brought my 1st golf mk3 gti but it seriously needs slamming. im going to keep the standard wheels and tyres on it for now what are 205/50/15s i also want to space it so wheels are flush but how much can i space it with these wheels and tyres on and being fairly low to the arch?
-
Flush, basicaly having the wheel at et of 0, with the standard wheels you'd need around a 35mm spacer as think the standard et is 35 (could be wrong) you won't get this with big tyres or without arch work though.
-
ah ok may just space it 10mm and slam it until i get a set of wheels after the winter
-
23mm spacers on the rear and 18mm spacers on the front, that will bring standard wheels flush to the arch like so:

Switch to 195/50/15's will give you more room.

Feck off! The lad who bought it off me popped round on Sat to pick up a spare splitter I had for it....he's got it booked in for a full respray in January and hopes to drop a VR6 in shortly after :cool:
He's already signed up on here somewhere but will start a dub rides when it's back from paint, he's hooked and those are his own words not mine....at least it's gone to a good home :smiley:

:cool: sounds like he is going to look after it then

Yup, seeing it reminded me why I got rid of it though....it was getting a bit tatty around the edges, rust starting to show more & more, the gearbox mount snapped a couple of weeks ago etc.
As soon as I've paid off the Mk4 I'll pick up another MK3 as a project I reckon :cool:

Why :undecided: go for a mk2 :cool:
-
Mk3's are cooler IMHO.

Really, I don't think so, early mk2 valver in monza blue would be my choice, mk3 is more modern but lacks any real soul.
-
They're totally different cars really...
I've had most Mks of golf now and PERSONALLY my favourites are the Mk1 and Mk3.
I couldn't tell you why...

My dream car is a RHD mk2 rallye with a Boosted R32 :cool:
But I honestly like the mk3 more than mk1, mk2 and mk4. I love mk5/6 though :lipsrsealed:
what was this thread about??? :grin:
